March Break Survival Guide: Keep the Kids Busy with Usborne Books!
March Break, that magical time when school’s out, energy levels are through the roof, and parents everywhere are desperately Googling “fun indoor activities that won’t destroy my house.” If you’re wondering how to keep your little ones entertained (without resorting to yet another episode of Blippy), we’ve got you covered.
Let’s turn this week into an adventure—with books, creativity, and maybe even some peace and quiet for you! 😉👍🏻
1. Backyard Explorers (or Living Room Adventurers)
Turn your backyard (or your living room!) into an exciting expedition with the Usborne Outdoors Book or Look Inside Nature. These books are packed with fun facts and activities that will have kids hunting for bugs, identifying trees, or pretending they’re deep in the jungle (even if the “jungle” is actually just the giant mess they made in your basement).
2. Rainy Day Rescue: Crafting & Creativity
March weather is as unpredictable as a toddler’s snack preferences, so have a backup plan for those dreary days! 365 Things to Make and Do is a lifesaver, offering crafts, doodles, and activities that will keep all your kids busy. ADDED BONUS: More crafts = less fighting with siblings (…we hope).
3. STEM-tastic Fun for Little Scientists
Keep their brains buzzing (and their hands busy) with some hands-on science! Science Experiments is packed with easy (and kitchen-friendly) experiments that make learning fun. Want something mess-free? Try Lift-the-Flap Questions and Answers About Science—because we all know kids love asking “Why?” every five seconds.
4. Travel the Globe, Without Leaving Home
Planning a staycation? Take a trip through the pages of a book! Illustrated Myths from Around the World will transport kids around the globe without requiring you to pack snacks (because we all know that’s the hardest part of any trip). Or, if snacks are totally your jam, try something new with World Kitchen!
5. Independent Reading = A Moment of Quiet for You
Need a break? (Silly question.) Encourage independent reading with Lola Locust finds her Focus, Monsters Go Green, or The Goblin’s Revenge. And if you need a surefire way to make them fall in love with books? Poppy and Sam’s Favourite Fairy Tales is a cozy, read-aloud classic, perfect for afternoon snuggles and bedtime cuddles.
6. Activity Books for On-the-Go Fun
Heading out to a restaurant? Doctor’s office? Braving a road trip? Mini Books, Puzzle Books and Wipe-Clean Activity Books are your new best friends. Boom—instant entertainment! No WIFI needed. *mic drop*
